LITTLE GEM

Review of Top Spot Motel
4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 11 Dec 2023
Perfect for a short stay...walking distance to places to eat, shopping and the beach.
We booked a family room for 3 adults and it's size was ideal for an overnight stop.
Definitely an older property but that actually adds to it's appeal. Management have kept the rooms pretty basic but they are very clean, well maintained and contain all the necessities for an easy weekend away.
Reception staff were friendly, check-in & out was smooth, and there was ample parking right in front of your room! (benefit of old style accommodation)
Although easy to find, be alert for the driveway when entering... we had to lap the block the first time after missing the entrance!
The property is located quite close to the night club area of Maroochydore, so also be aware that you can hear the noise associated with that well into the night...but it honestly didn't impact our stay at all.
This motel is one I'd certainly stay at again!

We selected Top Spot Motel, as it suited our budget, location is very central… within walking distance to Sunshine Plaza, the Restaurant Strip of Maroochydore and Maroochy River / Cotton Tree Beach. I was greeted by very friendly, welcoming staff and too keen to help you, to make your stay comfortable. Well laid out, our motel room was spacious, very clean, has all the necessities you need (body wash / shampoo, coffee/tea condiments, air con and the necessary appliances), to make your stay comfortable, plus free parking, right in front of our motel door. We were only there for an overnight stay, a place to rest, very comfortable bed and pillows, which met our requirements and we had a good night’s sleep which gave me the much-needed boost, to help with our four-hour travel ahead of us. I recommend Top Spot Motel - comfortable place to rest, conveniently close to town which you get “top notch” quality with that budget friendly price. I can’t fault this motel, it’s perfectly designed for travellers, especially for tourists… walking distance to town and close to public transport.

Thoroughly enjoyed my stay. So handy to the CBD, plaza’s and cafes. Well laid out and spacious units with everything that was needed including comfortable bed and sofa and milk already in the fridge. Friendly and helpful host with options for meals in the area.

Room tip: Plenty of parking - but can walk everywhere in the downtown area and beach reserves

Top Spot Motel is a beautiful retro motel experience in the heart of the action between Maroochydore and Maloollaba. If heart can be rated Top Spot is 6 star, just meet Karen. Rooms are spotless comfy good linen ironing boards TV that swivels and you can keep an eye on your car just two meters away. Cotton Tree is close. Big Top and restaurants and Sunshine Plaza as well as beach. Top Spot!

Room tip: Book ahead.

The motel is well located in town,reasonably priced ,everything seemed to work ,but has no reserved parking in front of your room.
We stayed four nights and 3 days,in this time the room was not cleaned,no topping up of beverages and biscuits and the towels were changed once.Being out all day and getting back to the motel on our second night at 11pm we found the room had not been touched and we had no clean towels.I went to see the night manager and told him ,very politely,that our room had not been cleaned .He was very aggressive and rude from the outset and told me the towels only get changed every three days.I asked for at least one towel so at least my wife and her 88 year old mother could shower ,which he refused to do.I was told I was a whinger and he closed the door in my face.
At no time ,either at booking or check in,was I told the towels only get changed every three days,or that cleaning and top up was not part of the service.Up until my encounter with the night manager we thought the motel was reasonable overall and were thinking of re booking for our next trip up here ,but after being treated so rudely and unprofessionally plus the lack of cleaning we will be looking elsewhere.

Room tip: Check what they provide e.g clean towels daily
